The short version
You would be nursing inside Avenues Recovery’s new Norfolk site—part of a network of roughly 17–18 locations across seven states that has grown since 2016 and moves people through detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient care.
Employer research, Jul 28, 2026
You run the nursing side of a detox-through-outpatient continuum—admission medical assessments, vitals, med dispense and logs, and pharmacy authorizations.
For experienced nursesSources
Avenues is staffing a new Norfolk location, so you would be joining a site still taking shape rather than a long-settled unit.
If you are moving hereSources
